Nure Koi

Heartbroken after a painful breakup, nineteen-year-old university student Kasumi escapes to Italy, hoping the beauty of a distant land will help mend her wounded heart. Amid the enchanting streets of Rome, she crosses paths with a strikingly handsome Japanese man, and swept up in the romance of the moment, she shares a passionate night with him—without ever learning so much as his name. For Kasumi, it was meant to remain a fleeting encounter with a stranger she would never see again. But fate has a wicked sense of humor. Upon returning home to Japan, Kasumi makes a discovery that turns her world upside down: the mysterious man from Rome is Yoshiki—her own younger brother. What should have stayed a distant, anonymous memory now stands before her as an unbearable reality, shadowed by guilt, confusion, and the weight of the forbidden. And as staggering as that revelation is, it proves to be only the beginning. Kasumi finds herself caught in a web of taboo and emotional turmoil, where the ties of family and the consequences of one reckless night collide in ways she never could have imagined.
